These requests take the term ‘Bridezilla’ to a whole new level

Get out of town.

Can you IMAGINE?!

If you thought being asked to dye your hair as a bridesmaid was bad, you’ll be shocked to hear what this woman was expected to do for her friend’s recent wedding.

Hayley was “overjoyed” when her friend Caroline asked her to be her bridesmaid but unfortunately, that feeling didn’t last.

In a post featured on MamaMia, Hayley talks about how group emails requesting opinions on everything from makeup looks to the groom’s buttonhole would arrive, not once or twice, several times per day.

She was coping with that but what happened next would floor anyone. Seriously.

Caroline apparently emailed saying that she and her husband-to-be needed to choose their cake immediately and so she would need Hayley to do up a table, “Excel is probably best”, with all the details by “close of business”.

OH HOLY MOTHER OF GOD.

Hayley, who was at work at the time, started to panic about how she was meant to fit all of this in with a full-time job, and after much deliberating, she figured the next day would be grand.

When she told Caroline this, she didn’t receive a reply until the next day and it read:

“Thanks for this, would’ve been really helpful to have it yesterday when specified but I appreciate it”.

If you’re struggling to pick your jaw up from the ground, don’t worry, we were too.

You’re probably thinking there is absolutely no way that this can get any worse but there is.

Caroline found her dream dress, a Marchesa number, but as a designer piece, it was way over budget.

Hayley was just delighted that the dress searching had finally coming to an end as she and the other six bridesmaids had given up a few weekends to shop with Caroline.

However, she didn’t stay happy for long as she later received an email from her friend with “bridesmaid dress contribution” in the subject line.

Caroline outlined how she was finding it hard to afford the dress and how it would mean so much if her bridesmaids could contribute towards the cost.

Yup.

Needless to say, Hayley was so livid that her phone almost met a bitter end but thankfully, she resisted the urge to throw it against the wall.
